Biography

After spending almost two and a half years in Asia traveling and teaching English and French, Sandra Coppola returned to UQÀM in 2007 to complete her film studies. As a graduation project, she has produced the compelling short film "A weekend in the country". Winner of the prestigious Norman McLaren Award at the World Film Festival, this film travels the world and garners many honors. Always driven by a desire to tell striking and original stories, Sandra realizes other shorts just as noticed including "Doll", "Once more and more" recently "The breath of the bee". Curious and eager to explore, Sandra also works in advertising, television and the web. As she will never stop exploring and creating, she is currently writing two feature film projects, the first in fiction, entitled The Flesh, and the second in documentary, tentatively titled "The Umbrellas of Hong Kong ".
